Those are the prettiest azaleas I think I've ever seen! <br /><br />I have this pink sorrel [Oxalis] too. I love it. <br /><br />I want me a wisteria tree too!!

My favorite shot in all these incredible images has to be the macro of the apple blossom. Just magnificent. Your wisteria is awesome too. I've never attempted to grow one but I like it standing alone like you have yours. <br />Hope you find a good pace to get all your chores done AND enjoy the flowers. You've got so much going on. If you need a break you can always visit Colorado. We are still in the very earliest stages of spring!!!

We are almost where you are as far as blooms go, but still a little behind. I've seen wisteria all over town. We often miss it too due to freezes. I like the native azaleas best, but the other are pretty too.

I can't keep up with all of the tasks that I have on my list right now. The weeds are trying to overtake my landscape around the house, as it does every year at this time. I had to put off some of my outdoor spring cleaning due to the excessive pollen. Your yard has come alive lately. My azaleas are just about ready to bloom any day now. I can't wait. Keep posting pictures of your yard waking up. You have the most beautiful plants. Every post you make makes me want to plant something new. Today, it made me want some wisteria!

All the photos are great but I especially love looking down the lane toward the house and with the barn way off to the left... an out-of-a-story book picture.<br /><br />P.S. try not to look at all that needs to be done at one time because it can't be done; we make a list and prioritize and focus on one thing. I will never forget after we bought this property and everything, everything needed attention but we said, OK, what's the most important thing we have to do... then next. I still recall one of our sons who had come to visit say as he looked around at the mess and the jungle, "You'll never get this done". Huh? That thought had never crossed our minds. All about perspective. ;)<br /><br />Hope you have a little time this weekend to relax.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160202493785166930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-78447459701172457092010-04-10T11:28:58.491-04:002010-04-10T11:28:58.491-04:00Your wisteria looks exactly like mine!
